Very artistic work Nikola.

Pic1 is strikingly "different" and really made me stop and look hard at it. I see that shutter was 1/4000 s with aperture f/1.8

.

IMO it takes imagination and guts to take and post a pic like this. If the main tulip had been perfectly in focus (or indeed all 4 or 5 tulips) then yes, I'm sure it would have looked good - but good just like a lot of other tulip pics. This pic really stands out from the crowd - well done.

I like pic2 too.

I think maybe pic3 would have more impact framed as portrait - but then art is a subjective subject.

I agree with Bruce...

They are quite lovely there Nikola and pic #1 is a standout. Like Bruce mentioned though, pic #3 might would be better as a portrait shot but also as he, Bruce, said it is subjective and the second image, I really like how you captured the "blood red" color of the petal, really vibrant.

Just fooling around Bruce, I do find your comments to be quite interesting

Thanks Bruce!

Good eye, seenig another tulip behind the central one.

Yep, f/1.8 is max. apreture for Canon EF 85 mm f/1.8 USM lens. Nice feature, you can take some pics in deep shadow without flash.

I was thinking about that "a posteriori" ... but with new camera I got some kind of "non cropping" taboo mood.

Thanks Ken!

I just set eyes on your response.
I'm satisfied how this camera reproduces the red colour. Reds could be problematic colours for some cameras, not sure why?

(Psssssst... expecting Rik's intervention.

I think Doug is getting "cabin fever."

Who, me? Sorry, I don't have clue about the reds!

Besides, I was distracted by pic #1, thinking that indeed this is a shot you just could not have taken with your old point-and-shoot.

Why? Because you couldn't have gotten a lens wide enough to blur the background so thoroughly! [*]

Nice pics, Nikola!
